I have a couple of dropdownlists on my forTemplate but the fucntionality I need is the following. On Insert I need them to be avialable to pick data, but on Edit mode I want to disable them so that they cannot mess with them becuase they are not editable in edit mode. i thought the follwoing code would work but appears not. On insert mode or what i thought was insertmode it fills the ddl and it works for soem reason, but on edit or insert it disables my dropwdownlists.
Protected Sub myPOGrid_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles myPOGrid.ItemDataBound If (TypeOf e.Item Is IGridInsertItem AndAlso e.Item.IsDataBound) Then Dim gr As DropDownList = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("ddlPOFund"), DropDownList) sql = "Select intFundID, strPGMCDnum + ' \ ' + CASE WHEN intSourceId = 1 then 'FEDERAL' ELSE 'STATE' END + ' \ ' + strEorNum FUND from Drat_fundSource where bitArchive IS NULL" gr.Items.Add(New ListItem("Pick Funding Source", "0")) buildDD(sql, gr) End If If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem) Dim PoFund As DropDownList = DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("ddlPOFund"), DropDownList) Dim FundS As DropDownList = DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("ddlFundSource"), DropDownList) PoFund.Enabled = False FundS.Enabled = False End If End Sub
